How is the Palmasola prison where Fernando Cerimedo was detained in Bolivia
Fernando Cerimedo, un consultor argentino del presidente boliviano Rodrigo Vargas, fue enviado al penal de Palmasola en Bolivia tras ser imputado por tentativa de femicidio relacionado con el ataque a la abogada y ex candidata a diputada Nadia Beller. El penal de Palmasola, ubicado en las afueras de Santa Cruz de la Sierra, es descrito como el centro de detención más grande y peligroso de Bolivia, con capacidad para 400 personas pero que alberga a aproximadamente 6,000 detenidos. Se destaca su sistema de máxima seguridad, aunque con escasa presencia policial dentro del recinto. Además, el lugar refleja la desigualdad social, con algunos reclusos que pueden pagar celdas de lujo mientras otros están apiñados o duermen a la intemperie. La superpoblación ha sido un problema persistente, con denuncias desde hace al menos dos décadas. En 2015, el Papa Francisco visitó el penal y destacó la importancia de la reinserción social.
Polar cold continues: frosts will continue this Saturday and Sunday in the AMBA
The article reports on the continued cold snap affecting the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) throughout Saturday and Sunday, with frost, very low temperatures, and significant nighttime temperature drops.

Economists at RDEco analyzed the dollar at $1,800: what would happen to inflation
The article discusses economic analysts' concerns regarding Argentina's fixed exchange rate strategy, which aims to keep the peso stable against the dollar to control inflation. Experts like Alejandro Bianchi argue that maintaining the current exchange rate creates uncertainty among businesses and investors, particularly in sectors such as industry, commerce, and tourism, which would benefit from a weaker peso.
